Xhosa Folk-Lore: Notes: The Story Of Kenkebe

Kaffir (Xhosa) Folk-Lore, by George McCall Theal, [1886] In the above story Kenkebe is represented as the personification of selfish greed. In this character his name has passed into a common proverb- Sibayeni sonke, Kenkebe. We are all bridegrooms, Kenkebm This saying is used to any one who does not readily share food with others. It means, we are all entitled to a portion, you greedy one. A Kaffir, when eating, commonly shares his food with any others who may be present at the time.
